Travelers will have to quarantine themselves for 10 days in government approved hotels and pay for themselves during their stay. Passengers will pay a bill of at least $ 100 (54,018 FCFA) per night.

Now, passengers arriving in 33 countries from England will have to pay some 2,000 euros (more than 1.3 million FCFA) to set themselves apart for 10 days in pre-booked hotel rooms. According to the British government, failure to follow the rules could result in 11,500 euros (more than 7.5 million FCFA) or a 10-year prison sentence.

As with all other passengers, these passengers must also be tested on the second and eighth day of quarantine, in addition to the negative test conducted 72 hours prior to arrival. Passengers must pre-book on the government website.
